While their parents were away at the airport dropping off Lincoln with Professor Magnolia, the Loud sister's got up to begin the day.
The older sisters walked in the kitchen and prepared a fresh pot of coffee to begin their day.
After preparing the coffee they each poured a bit of the coffee into their cups before taking a sip, but not before blowing on it as coffee is hot.
"I didn't see Lincoln or Mom and Dad so I guess they really are at the airport dropping off Lincoln."said Lori as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Yeah it's going to feel really strange without having little bro here."said Luna she took a sip of her coffee from her coffee cup.
"Oh please he'll probably only handle a few days before he'll be begging to come back."said Lynn and she took a sip of her coffee.
"Wow now that's mean Lynn."said Luan as that was low even for Lynn.
"What I'm just saying what everyone's thinking Lincoln is not used to being away from home so I doubt he'll handle being on the other side of the world for too long by himself."said Lynn in her defense.
"Whatever let's just hope that Lincoln's doesn't do anything to screw it up."said Lori who would never admit that she's worried.
"I really hope Professor Magnolia will treat Lincoln okay since we don't know her guys."said Leni with our usual big sister protective nature.
"Don't worry bra I'm sure Lisa wouldn't have sent our little bro with someone she didn't trust I mean she can be cold but Lisa is not heartless."said Luna and Lisa and Professor Magnolia's defense.
"I guess, but have you guys figured out what Lisa's angle is?"asked Luan as the older sisters began pondering what Lisa is planning.
"I literally do not know but it has to be something since Lisa wouldn't do anything unless she benefits in some way."said Lori who knew her little sister all too well.
"Yeah but what could it be?"wondered Leni.
Meanwhile the other sisters were in the dining room preparing bowls of cereal with their favorite cereals not really listening to what their older sisters were saying in the kitchen.
"I wonder how Lincoln will react when he gets there guys?"said Lucy as she finished pouring the milk into her cereal.
"Who cares as long as I get more bathroom time."said Lola.
"Essh that is cold Lola."said Lana as even for a Lola that was cold.
"Sorry but I'm sure he'll be fine after all he is the man with the plan it's not like he's a defenseless child or anything."said Lola with everyone else reluctantly nodding their heads in agreement.
"Lily worried."said lily as Lisa gave her a bottle of milk.
"Don't worry Lily, Lincoln is currently in great hands with Professor Magnolia."said Lisa as the sound of Vanzilla pulling up into the driveway could be heard.
Soon the Loud parents came inside and we're greeted by their daughters as Lynn Sr made his way in the kitchen to make his family a more proper breakfast while Rita just poured herself a cup of coffee.
"So how did things go?"asked Lori.
"I just hope that Lincoln and will do okay over there."responded Rita she took a sip of her coffee.
"Yeah Professor Magnolia seems to be a very nice lady so I'll trust her with taking care of our son while he helps her over there with her research."said Lynn Sr cryptically despite knowing what was going on.
Lisa gave both her parents a knowing smirk and she made them promise not to reveal anything until Professor Magnolia gives a proper report on Lincoln's actions over there in Galar.
"Don't worry I'm sure Lincoln's doing a okay over there, by now he's probably flying over the ocean doing who knows what to pass the time."said Lisa as everyone continue doing the activities they were doing.
But to say that anyone was okay would be a complete fat lie as they couldn't help but be worried.
Especially in the cases of Leni, Luna, Lucy, Lana, Lily, and Rita.

[Postwick: Galar region]
The next day Lincoln got it from the bed he was using and Miss Olivia's House before looking around with confusion for about two minutes before realizing where he was.
"Oh yeah I'm here on the other side of the world training to become a Pokemon trainer."said Lincoln as he got out of bed accidentally knocking the cube Lisa gave him on to the floor causing it to release something.
"What the?"said Lincoln who noticed that that's something that was now on the floor was some kind of outfit that looked like it was about his size.
Lincoln picked up the outfit and looked it over and realized he liked the outfit quite a bit so he decided to put it on.
After completely changing into the new outfit Lincoln went over to a mirror to check himself out.
Lincoln was not wearing a black and orange short sleeve jacket with a white undershirt underneath that could be seen as the jacket was open. For pants instead of jeans Lincoln was now wearing tight cargo pants with to leg pockets on both sides with a trainer's belt holding his pants to his waist. For shoes instead of his white sneakers Lincoln was not wearing orange and white running shoes with white soles on the bottom.
Finally completing the look is a orange and black baseball cap with the letters LL printed in the front and bright orange.
"Man I look good in this, and I got to say the backpack Lisa packed in here is much better than the duffel bag I had."said Lincoln who picked up the backpack that fell along with the outfit.
Instead of the green duffel bag he came with Lincoln was now wearing a huge black old school looking backpack that look it could hold a bunch of material.
"With this I should be able to carry everything I need for my journey and it's not that heavy it's actually quite light."said Lincoln who was admiring himself in the mirror before Miss Olivia walked into the room.
"Nice outfit but wash your hands has breakfast will soon be ready."
"Okay Miss Olivia I'm coming."said Lincoln who quickly went to the washroom to wash his hands before heading to the kitchen to eat.
A short while later Lincoln was in the living room looking at the cube when he opened it again releasing something else that he did not expect.
There floating in the air was a touch screen phone that look like it had a face on it. Then a note flew out of the cube.
Lincoln picked up the note and read it out loud.
Lincoln what you have in your hands is called a trainer cube which will allow you to carry larger items and a more compact space. I hope you like the outfit I chose for you as with it you now look like a proper trainer and as for the floating phone it is called a Rotom phone. It is a special phone that has a Pokémon called Rotom in it that will allow you to use it hands-free allowing you to take pictures and all other features a phone has.
Also as for the debit card I gave you it is actually a special type of credit card that uses the currency there in Galar with a certain amount of money stocked up already to allow you to buy things for you and your Pokemon for a certain amount of time.
I hope you enjoy it in Galar and have a wonderful journey.
Sincerely your sister Lisa Loud.
"Thanks Lisa."said Lincoln as he put the cube away as looked over the roll-time phone which was like any other phone he was used to.
"This is awesome."said Lincoln before hearing a knock on the door.
"Hello hello."said a familiar voice which Lincoln recognized as Hop's.
"Come on in Hop, Lincoln is in the living room."said Miss Olivia as Hop allowed himself inside.
"Hey when can I see your fiddling with your Rotom phone. But enough of that as we need to get going as Lee should get home any time now and I told you every time he comes home he brings a special present and I know for a fact this time he's bringing Pokemon so let's go."said Hop who sounded extra jittery today.
"I'm coming Hop."said Lincoln as he picked up his backpack and followed Hop outside the house.
"Remember be careful out there you too and remember no going into the Slumbering Weald!"said Miss Olivia as Lincoln and Hop made their way outside the house.
"Man Lincoln that is a huge backpack you're carrying. It looks like you can top you over any minute but at least we know you can carry anything Lee brings us even if it's as big as a Snorlax."joked Hop even though Lincoln had no idea what a Snorlax was.
Suddenly their thoughts were interrupted when they heard the sound of something hitting a nearby fence and when they look to see they saw it was a wild Wooloo who was hitting the fence.
"Hey you naughty Wooloo I see what you're doing and I tell you now to stop that at once! You better not break down that fence and go into the Slumbering Weald if you know what's good for you as everyone knows they are super scary super strong Pokémon living in there!"said Hop as the Wooloo seem to stop what it was doing.
"Beeehhhhh!"said the wild Wooloo before appearing to walk off as it looked like Hop managed to convince it to give up.
"Now but that has been taken care of let's race to my house and see if Lee is already there."said Hop as he began running.
"Hop wait you're the only one who knows the way!"exclaimed Lincoln as he ran after his new friend making sure not to lose him as he was the only one who knew the way to his house.
A short while later both aspiring trainers arrived at Hop's house.
"Oh before I forget Professor Magnolia told me to give you this. It's your Pokemon trainers license."said Hop as he handed the license over to Lincoln.
"Thanks Hop."said Lincoln as he looked over the license with joy knowing that with this he's officially recognized as a Pokemon trainer.
"Now let's get inside and see if Lee's here."said Hop as you open the front door of his house to allow himself and Lincoln inside.
Once inside they saw a woman who looks similar to Hop that Lincoln assume was Hop and Leon's mother.
"Mum is he here yet?"
"There you are Hop I've been looking all over for you. Oh you must be that new Pokemon trainer from the states that Hop has been talking about. It's nice to meet you young man."said Hop's mother with respect.
"Nice to meet you too Mom and please just call me Lincoln."said Lincoln with equal amount of respect.
"Do mum is Lee here, like you have him stashed in a cupboard or something?"asked Hop as he began looking around noticing that his brother was nowhere in sight.
"For the hundredth time Hop he is not here yet. Leon should barely be arriving at the train station now as we speak."said Hop's mother wondering where her son got his impatience from.
"Then I should go there and get them since we both know that Lee has no sense of direction."said Hop causing Lincoln to do with double take.
"What do you mean Hop?"asked Lincoln making sure he was hearing his friend right.
"Lee doesn't really know nor from south or east to west as he easily gets lost and if it wasn't for his partner Pokemon Charizard he would always be getting lost..."clarified Hop.
"Yes I would have to agree with my son on that as it is all true. Lincoln you look like the respectable and responsible type so will you go with my son to go get my older son please?"requested Hop's mother.
"Sure if it means being the champion I'll gladly go with him."answered Lincoln with a smile.
"Then let's get going Lincoln or I'm going to leave you behind."said Hop as Lincoln ran after him as Hop was already making his way out of the house at great speed.
"Hop wait for me you're the only one who knows the way!"exclaimed Lincoln as he chased after Hop all the while Hop's mother just chuckled at her son and his friends antics.
"Oh to be young again."said Hop's mother and she wiped away a tear of joy.
-=O=-
"Remember Lincoln not going into the tall Grass as I have my Wooloo to watch my back but you don't have any Pokemon so stay out of the tall Grass as much as possible."said Hop as he and Lincoln ran towards the train station in Wedgehurst.
"Okay Hop I understand."said Lincoln who decided to listen to Hop as he knew this area better than he did.
After running for a good twenty to thirty minutes both arrived at the train station in Wedgehurst were a large group of people had gathered.
Lincoln managed to look through the crowd to see a young man who look like he was in his early twenties walk out of the station with a creature that look like an orange fire dragon.
The young man look a lot like Hop except his hair was longer and he had what appeared to be a stylish beard. The young man wore an outfit which consisted of a black and white vertically striped t-shirt with a blue sword in front of a red shield printed in the front. For pansy War athletic looking shorts with matching leggings and his shoes were of similar patterns to his leggings. Finally completing the look was a black baseball cap put as high as possible and a red shoreline tape draped over his shoulders that look like it had a lot of endorsements on the back.
"That's Lee and the Pokemon next to him is his partner Pokemon Charizard."said Hop as Lincoln was amazed that standing in front of him was the strongest trainer of this region with his partner Pokemon.
Meanwhile as soon as Leon spotted the crowd he quickly struck a pose which many called his Charizard pose and many of the crowd soon followed as Charizard let out a mighty roar.
"Hello hello Wedgehurst your Champion Leon is back."said Leon with a smile on his face.
"Leon you are the greatest!"
"I love you Leon!"
"Leon your Charizard is absolutely the best!"
"Why thank you for that and I hope all of you have been keeping up your training that way you can one day take part in the gym challenge."said Leon with a smile on his face.
"We have Leon just as you instructed us."said a female from the crowd.
"But that Charizard of yours is too strong for the likes of us to take on."said another female from the crowd.
Leon chuckled a little before answering.
"While it is true that my Charizard is amazingly strong other Pokemon can be amazingly strong as well. That is why I want every strong trainer to take part in the gym challenge to prove to the entire world that Pokémon trainers from Galar are the strongest Pokemon trainers in the world!"declared Leon as he struck a magnificent pose causing the crowd to go wild once again.
'Man even though I haven't seen this guy battle I can tell by the charisma and the aura he's getting off that he's strong.' thought Lincoln who saw Leon as a natural leader.
"Lee!"exclaimed Hop trying to get his brother's attention.
"Hop!"exclaimed Leon as he noticed his little brother and made his way through the crowd who politically got out of his way.
"So I see my number one fan in the entire world has come to pick me up. Look at you Hop I reckon you've grown an inch...and a quarter since the last time I've seen you."
"Bingo! Your exactly rightly I shouldn't be surprised since those sharp eyes of yours are the reason you haven't been defeated up until now."said Hop as Leon turned his attention towards Lincoln..
"And you must be Lincoln I heard a lot about you from Professor Magnolia and my little brother. I must say I'm impressed that you manage to pass your Pokemon trainers license exam with a B and as far as I'm concerned you are a trainer of Galar. So I hope you and my little brother get along quite well."
"Thank you Mr. Leon and honestly speaking I don't know why but for some reason your brother just easily makes me feel at ease like we have been friends for a long time."said Lincoln sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah my brother easily makes friends that way with his natural kindness and ability to draw others. But I feel you have similar abilities so I do believe you guys will get along just well. oh and don't call me Mr Leon, Leon is just fine I'm not too fond of formalities."said Leon who didn't like being called mister as it made him feel old.
"Okay... Leon."said Lincoln as the two shook hands.
"Come on Lee, and you too Lincoln I bet I can beat you both back to Postwick!"said Hop as he immediately began running.
"That Hop always rushing to be the best. With a proper rival of his own who knows how far he can get."said Leon as he turned to face the crowd.
"Well I must be leaving now but fret not no matter where I am I will always make sure that the people of Galar have a champion time by watching my battles!"exclaimed Leon as he once again struck his Charizard pose causing the crowd to cheer his name.
Leon smiled as he, Lincoln, and Charizard began to go after Hop.
But things prove difficult after Lincoln and Charizard have to work together to make sure Leon did not get lost as Hop was right he had no sense of direction whatsoever...
Even in a straight line he managed to get lost...

[Postwick: Hop and Leon's House]
A while.later Leon, Lincoln, and Hop we're in the front yard of Leon and Hops house and to say that Hop couldn't contain his excitement anymore was an understatement.
"Come on Lee! I know you brought me and Lincoln Pokemon so let's see them already!"said Hop was really getting impatient.
"Alright then the greatest gift from the greatest champion!"exclaimed Leon is he pulled out three pokeballs.
"Take a good look you two."said Leon is he threw the pokeballs into the air releasing the Pokemon that were inside.
To Lincoln the Pokemon look like a green monkey, a white rabbit, and a blue chameleon.
"The Grass type Grookey!"
"The Fire type Scorbunny!"
"And the Water type Sobble!"
Leon identified all three Pokémon in order as they went throughout the front yard two different areas.
Grookey climbed up the tree as Sobble dove into the mini pond in the yard. As for Scorbunny he started running around on a mini battlefield in a circle.
Grookey meanwhile found a berry so it pulled out the stick on its head and began hitting on it like a drum. Sobble was just calmly relaxing when it spit out of glob of water which accidentally but Scorbunny as it was distracted.
Since Scorbunny is a fire type it thought that the water type move wasn't attacked against it so it quickly started bouncing around erratically until it eventually hit the branch Grookey was on.
This cause the berry it was playing with to fall into the water scaring Sobble, causing the water lizard Pokemon to jump out of the water and begin crying.
Grookey quickly made its way over to the crying Pokémon and managed to calm it down along with Scorbunny.
"All right line up you three."ordered Leon in the three Pokemon complied and quickly formed a line on the battlefield with Grookey on the left, Scorbunny in the center, and Sobble on the right.
"Which will you choose? asked Leon as he looked at his little brother and Lincoln.
"You choose first Lincoln since I already have my Wooloo after all."said Hop who is being polite.
"Thanks Hop."said Lincoln as he walked over to get a good look at the three Pokemon.
Lincoln didn't need much time to choose I see already figured which Pokémon was meant to be his partner Pokémon based on the dreams he's been having.
"I choose you... Grookey!"said Lincoln has the chimp Pokémon jump with joy and gave him a high five.
"So you chose Grookey excellent choice Lincoln...then I chose Sobble! Your mine! I warn you now I plan to be the next Champion so get ready for some intense training!"said Hop as the water lizard Pokemon accepted him as his trainer.
Wooloo meanwhile walked up to Sobble and the two Pokemon started to get to know one another.
"That's the spirit and that's exactly why I gave you two Pokemon in the first place for you to train hard and one day try to take the champion title from me."said Leon with a smile on his face.
Scorbunny meanwhile was looking around wondering who would take him when Leon and Charizard approached him.
"And you will come with me. Charizard is real strict but he's kind and with his help I'm sure in no time I can shape you into a top notch Pokemon."said Leon as Scorbunny jumped into the air with joy.
"Alright that's enough Pokemon nonsense for one day all of you wash up as the barbecue will nearly be ready soon."said Hop's mother who walked into the scene with Miss Olivia.
"Okay."said the three Pokemon trainers as they went inside to wash up for lunch.
The fun barbecue outside lasted for hours as the sun was setting all the while Hop was running around with two kabobs in his hands while his Pokemon got to know one another.
Leon and Charizard were showing Scorbunny a few pointers and as for Lincoln and Grookey.
They were currently getting to know one another.
"With you by my side groupie I'm sure we will make it to the top one day."
"Grookey grook."said the Chimp Pokemon who gave Lincoln a thumbs up.
"I'll take that as a yes let's train hard together buddy and reach the talk together."said Lincoln as the two high five once more.
[With a Pokemon to finally call his own Lincoln's journey can now officially begin. With Grookey by his side how will fate fair for young Lincoln, well probably never know until much later as the journey continues]
[To Be Continued]
Lincoln's Team.
Grookey [Male]
Hey guys PrimusPilus here to give his two cents.
Man I worked my mental mind to the phone trying to get this storage at this point is quickly and as thoroughly as I could.
I got to say well I'm tired I'm quite proud of my work and I hope you all enjoy it.
Now I know it's weird for an author to do three different Pokemon stories at the same time that are basically the same but bear with me please as I've always wanted to do this.
Now next chapter we will learn what the loud family was doing the day Lincoln got Grookey.
How have things changed now that Lincoln is no longer there?
This question will be answered as the journey continues so until then this is PrimusPilus signing out and hoping to see all of you next time.
